"What Geoff did with Lance. As ALWAYS, Geoff's plan seems obvious in retrospect, but you never, ever, ever see it coming!"

Is this sarcasm, because I saw that coming a mile away. "Oh hey, a bunch of new characters, and Gog! I wonder wich one's gonna be Magog, how about that guy who carries an alien energy weapon, that seems like a safe bet"

Ordinarily, he'd be a hero, since the Riddler is a villain. But the Riddler has reformed. Since it's been made explicit in the story that the anti-universe is reactive to changes in the plus-universe and not the other way around, when the Riddler reformed, Enigma became a villain.

I would not be surprised, therefore, if part of the solution to defeating the anti-Trinity is to force the Riddler back to his life of crime.

"Well, really, the only good thing I can say about that is: I got to see Geo-Force's throat get slit."

I think I figured out why you hate Geo-Force.

Geo-Force is everything Aquaman isn't.

Setting aside the obvious water/rock difference, their characters are similar but opposite.

Aquaman is regal. He has a kingly presence that comes across even to beings from other planets. Geo-Force is aristocratic. He's haughty and petulant, and he always has to remind people that he's a prince.

Aquaman is inspiring. Either through his actions or his words or his low-level telepathy, Aquaman is a natural leader. Geo-Force just wants people to do what he says. No one is inspired by Geo-Force.

The Shooter LSH has finally clicked as far as I'm concerned; it's starting to really seem like the Legion, though I could do without the Garth/Imra/etceteras subplot. Brainy was great.

Scipio said: "With disgust that a Final Crisis one-shot was wasted on Geo-Force vs. Deathstroke, the fight no one but Brad Meltzer wanted to see?"

While I didn't touch the thing, I'm under the impression that it was not particularly a FC tie-in. Wasn't it titled "DCU: Last Will and Testament" rather than "FC: Last Will and Testament"? It didn't have the FC trade dress or anything else. From what I can gather, it doesn't fit in *at all* with the continuity of FC, and is just "the night before some really big fight."

Trinity has been making steady progress and is really starting to feel like a Busiek book-- which is high praise.
